Eat to the beat

To eat or not to eat, thats the question... Eat of course!
It's not always easy to know what to put in your shopping basket or grab out of the fridge before your workout.
I am here going to give you a few tips of how to make your eating day complete.

I am a believer in natural and healthy food on a daily basis. Always make sure that what you eat has had a mother or has grown in the soil. To eat unnatural food, for example non fat butter, is as natural as eating a plastic bag.
There are four main things we need on a dialy basis:

1. Fat
2. Protein
3. Carbs
4. Vitamins and minerals

We normally don't need to think about the fat we need as almost every thing we eat contains fat. But do remember, we need fat so "fat free" is not always the best option.


Protein is our building material. We need it to build muscles, brain cells, hair and nails. If we dont eat protein our body will slowly disappear. Things that are full of protein is meat, chicken, fish and beans. Also lactos products like milk and cheese are rich with protein.


Carbs or carbohydrates is our fuel. We need to function, to think, to walk and talk. So carbs is a very important part of our daily meals. When we get tired and can't think clearly is often because lack of carbs. But what carbs are good carbs? There is long carbs and there is short carbs. All carbs has the function to make us alert but the difference is that long carbs, like whole grains, oat meal and brown rice etc, will last longer in our bodies. Short carbs, like sugar, white rice and white bread, will give us a quick kick but then the crash will be big when the energy is gone.


Vegtebles is also a great source of carbs and also contains most of the minerals and vitamins we need. The more raw the vegtebles are the better and more full of vitamins and minerals they are.

So, to sum this up.
-Fat in small amounts is good!
-Protein is our building material, more protein to the poeple!
-Carbs are needed, but bring it down a notch. We dont need much to function. Rule: The more you move and workout, the more carbs you need.
-Vitamins and minelars is there alot of in fruit and vegtebles. An apple (and alot of raw vegtebles) a day keeps the doctor away!

If you have any questions please comment and ask!

Now, eat to the beat of your heart and have a WONDERFUL(L) day!
